The Whole Wheat

I wanted to post a little conclusion now that my 30-day challenge has ended.  I haven’t made a mad rush to find any HFCS and injest it – however I did splurge on cookies in a meeting that I *think* only had sugar but I don’t know.

I find I feel better than I have in ages.  The focus I put on fresh veggies has really been good.  I ended up losing about 2 pounds and a couple percentage points of body fat during the 30 days.  Nothing major but as I mentioned yesterday – I found I didn’t have to do a diet over haul to accomplish this chalenge.

I’m getting organized for February and will be back soon with the next month’s focus! If you discovered anything interesting about HFCS – please be sure to post it!

I can’t believe this is the last day for these food tracking posts. I know you will all miss them. I on the other hand will not!

I hope that I have helped to show that you don’t have to eat a boring diet in order to eat HFCS free. Additionally I should add – I found eliminating HFCS from my diet very easy. Though I was cautious around crackers and other foods, I really did not need to alter my daily meals at all.
